The Impossible Elephant is a 2001 Canadian adventure comedy film directed by Martin Wood and written by Robert C.

A boy named Daniel, whose mother has recently passed away, wishes upon a star for an elephant.

When they bring it to a zoo, they find out that the elephant is sick and will be shipped to San Diego to be taken care of.

When attempting to help his adopted pet escape, with the help of his friend Gilbert, they realize the elephant possesses the ability to fly.

[2] Ken Eisner of Variety called the film a "more-than-serviceable kidpic that makes good use of real and mechanical pachyderms to whip up a boy's-own tale of a magical Dumbo loose in the ‘burbs.
